**BACKGROUND**
PKD is the intellectual property of ICMNI - Paleomedicina Hungary and is an evolutionary adapted diet. It originates from Dr. Zsófia Clemens (brain researcher Ph.D. and biologist) and Dr. Csaba Tóth (physician) in 2010-2011.The diet is derived from clinical evidence and is used to treat a whole host of chronic diseases, including Crohn’s disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, type 2 and type 1 diabetes, and an array of other autoimmune diseases and cancer.
**THE MAIN BENEFITS OF PKD**
Its ability to induce ketosis - the natural physiological state of the human body.
It ensures the body gets all the essential nutrients required.
It heals intestinal permeability, also known as “leaky gut syndrome”, which is the cause of most chronic disease, by excluding all possible toxins and additives in food.
PKD combines the benefits of the classical ketogenic diet and the Paleolithic diet, while overcoming the shortcomings of each of these.
**PKD IN A NUTSHELL**
PKD consists of 70-100% animal-based foods and 0-30% plant-based foods. Only animal-based foods provide all the nutrients we need. Healthy humans can tolerate certain plant foods so these (foods) can be consumed in this diet up to 30% of daily calories. The amount of the allowed plants depends on the state of health of the person.

If you understand the basic rules, the fundamental principles of PKD are so easy.
**FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES**
EAT TO YOUR HUNGER AND YOUR SATIATION
Eat until you are full. Only if you are overcoming some type of health issue, do you need to follow the stricter version of PKD in terms of minimum or maximum amounts of what you need to eat.
DRINK TO YOUR THIRST
You only need to drink when you are thirsty. You will find on PKD that you do not need to drink as much water.
NO NEED TO MEASURE ANYTHING
It’s not necessary to measure everything out.
TRUST YOUR BODY
Our body knows exactly what it needs to thrive. We need to trust our guts!
